The Mini

One of my preferences for shooting with high speed lenses is the ability I have in challenging environments, such as busy streets or social scenes.  This Mini was shot in downtown Somerville (as many other cars I post) on a late summer evening.  Kodak Ektar film renders the colors nicely and the body and lens combo was a Leica M rangefinder along with the Noctilux 50/1.0.  One of the things I enjoy about shooting film still is the fact that Leica lenses render differently on film than on their M8 or M9 digital bodies.  Still very tough to achieve this look on a digital sensor, regardless of what one might read on various fora.
